The creative team behind American Horror Story have confirmed a future season of the FX series will be produced as a crossover – and we’re definitely WAY more excited than terrified.

The popular horror-drama series has built a loyal cult following, in-part due to its distinctive settings, which differ from season to season but rotate many of the same actors in its ensemble of characters.

And now, series creator Ryan Murphy has said things will soon be taken up a level, confirming future storylines would merge season one’s haunted house theme (Murder House) with season three’s Salem witch academy (Coven).
